^ Jesus. Yukon Striker is an absolutely gargantuan coaster in not only height but also track thickness, usually flats look miniscule next to coasters but this?

Anybody who's ridden a Maurer skyloop knows what's up. The lap bar doesn't press down on any part of your body as much as just sorta lays over your lower body so that vertical ascent to turning over upside down that high up off the ground... 120m tall starflyers are nothing, but Skyloops still...

Good to see Merlin is still going with the "if it looks dilapidated from the jump we don't need to maintain it!" route

I've experienced both the vests and the OG at the same park in Heide. I would probably feel inclined to agree with the majority opinion that the OG > vests if B&M spaced the seats farther apart like they do on the trains with the vests, however on Krake I found that the OG otsrs feel really...

This is such a weird coaster to me lmfao and that backwards spike at the start is so un-B&M. They seem to also be testing this without the train theming like they did on the legoland wing, which looks like a way better family thrill than this. I can't imagine hanging sideways on the spiral to be...

Works for my (kinda) local park but also any future park I'd visit: Any skyrocket 2. I'd much rather spend my time feeling out the park or doing some fun family coaster over those forceless things with the worst rollercoaster trains anybody's come up with (and note, I haven't yet experienced...

^ It definitely moves through the track faster than I expected, but that's probably because B&M track is so large that smaller elements look like there's much less altitude to gather speed with etcetera. Should be a fun experience for any age.

I unironically stopped dreaming of being able to visit theme parks constantly because sometimes it seems like when people ride coasters every day it's not fun anymore and they just start analyzing how elements were not as fun as their #1

That does look really fun and I'm glad there's physical props in there too but... What was that about climate protests in the dialogue 😅

I'm not an expert in the field so I don't know for sure but if I had to guess, a deciding factor could also be shipping since for a compact coaster in a smaller park you imagine it's a bigger factor in the overall cost than with a larger investment. Intamin's tracks would (I'm assuming) be made...

Oh my lord... Please, NAME NAMES. Everything from people here on this thread, from IAAPA, from Twitter is all just "something happened somewhere with someone and it's bad", NAME NAMES. If you don't want to name names, it's clearly not significant enough and we can all forget about it. If it's...

To me it looks like they've planted some the issue of course being that foliage doesn't grow to full size in a month. But granted, looks like there's areas they could plant more in where I don't see any saplings.

The Top Spin basically had to close already this year but they're already adding a different new attraction in 2023 (presumably, not confirmed 100%) in the new Vekkula (funhouse) replacement for the one they closed in 2017 to make way for Taiga. They've had to delay that one by a couple years...

I hate the name. But other than that, this has me excited! If they stay faithful to the art I'll be happy too cause the victorian-esque fencing and brick backdrop look really nice as although Linnanmäki has no overarching themes, they have made an effort with a lot of recent additions and...

I can't really say I've had a worst spite because everything I've wanted to ride has always been open, with the exception of Desert Race at Heide Park when I went there in 2019. But tbh, I had forgotten the coaster was even there until I walked past it so.

Good. I've ridden Zamperla's current tallest drop tower model (Z-Max) and while the views are nice, all it really offers is motion sickness due to the weirdly smooth bouncing it does like a fast elevator. You don't feel the claimed g-forces at all.

I would probably not trust Premier with building anything besides a sitdown with an LSM launch. And besides, the layout looks pretty eh, just like an inverted version of a Vekoma family boomerang, whereas SFCs are actually pretty fun.

Can they please put some shade in while they're at it? Lmao jk, it seems like a good update. But for real the park is in serious need of some basic upkeep and shade, as the park is 90% cracking asphalt and on +30c days with the sun blazing there's nowhere to hide.

Why did they get the new trains in the first place

Being a baby/toddler in the early 00's and getting scared by the demon face with glowing eyes that they for some reason have on the old kiddie carousel at my home park of Linnanmäki.
